Brittle Bones Are
Given Protection
ST. LOUIS (Bt—A 7-year-old boy
whose legs have been fractured
more than 60 times due to a brittle
bone condition is recovering from
a series of unusual operations de
signed to prevent further breaks.
Terry Estes has spent much of
his life at St. Louis Children’s Hos
pital since the condition became
evident five years ago when he be
gan to walk.
Physicians placed metal pins in
each of his thigh bones and in his
lower leg bones for support. As the
bones grow longer, each pin must
be removed and replaced by a
longer one.
Since the treatment began 18
months ago, he has suffered only
one break. Physicians say he can
now look forward to normal activ
ity as an adult.

TODAY’S
BUSINESS
MIRROR
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK W-A machine
comes into a factory or office and
in a matter of minutes turns out
a completed job that once took
many workers hours to do. But
what about the men and women?
Will they get other jobs?
More and more such automatic
machines will be changing the look
, of factories and also changing the
kind—and number—of employes.
One example: A huge broaching
machine operated by one man can
pick up an auto engint block in a
Ford plant in Cleveland, and using
1,344 tools do a dozen machining
operations. It can turn out 152
engine blocks an hour. Plant em
ployes are mostly technicians, job
setters, maintenance men.
Another example: Operating con
trol boards, 12 men can run an oil
refinery. Without help of instru
ments, it would take 800 men to
do the work. That would make
more jobs—and the price of gaso
line would be higher.
A third example: Remington
Rand has installed m the Chicago
merchandising office of John Plain
& Cos. a machine called ’’speed
tally” or ’’distribution” which has
the working capacity of 30,000
adding machines. It keeps inven
tory data current. In minutes it
can get inventory data in shape
for buyers, where formerly it took
scores of clerks a week or more
to do it.
For management the competitive
advantages of automatic controls
are real: speedy production, lower
labor costs, a minimum of human
error, a jump on rivals in getting
trade data.
But a lot of men and women in
factories and offices may protest,
especially if a business dip makes
jobs scarce.
Employe acceptance of an office
machine or system is even more
important than the machine or
system itself, Miss Marion A. Bills
of the Aetna Life Insurance Cos.,
Hartford, Conn., tells the American 1
Management Assn’s office man
agement conference being held
here today.
Management’s answer is usually
to point out that m the past ma- 1
chines have eventually led to high
er living standards, less drudgery, i
more jobs.
As machines substitute for men,
“engineering may eventually be i
the largest profession, with scien- ]
tists in research not far behind,” j
predicts John Post, manager of
the industrial relations department i
of Continental Oil Cos. He sees an <
increasing “trend from a wage- i
earning to a sa aried population” ;
with incomes tending to stabilize, i

Gov’t Broadens
Injunction On
Waterfront Union
NEW YORK ÜB—The federal gov
ernment has broadened the no
strike injunction against the Inter
national Longshoremen’s Assn, to
include the rival AFL union.
Federal Judge Edward Weinfeld
Thursday widened the scope of
Taft-Hartley injunction which halt
ed the five-day waterfront strike
with a temporary restraining order
effective until Oct. 25 against the
ILA-AFL.
The old ILA, ousted from the
AFL on charges of failing to clean
house of graft and racketeering,
had complained it was “hog-tied"
by the original injunction, saying
it enabled the AFL union to harass
ILA dockers in{p violating the no
strike edict.
Weinfeld set next Tuesday for
the AFL union to show cause why
it should not be prohibited from
striking under the same injunction.
In another action, Weinfeld or
dered that a three-man statutory
court be convened Oct. 27 to rule
on the constitutionality of the new
New York-New Jersey waterfront
commission, i
Heavy details of police continue
to patrol the sprawling waterfront
and thus far have prevented bitter
interunion rivalry from erupting
into violence.
The older ILA originally struck
over a wage dispute with the em
ployer group, the New York Ship
ping Assn.
Decision Due
WASHINGTON (F)—Secretory of
Agriculture Benson has told the
House Agriculture Committee he
will decide whether tr support the
price of choice cattle after be gets
advice from meat and livestock
leaders.
The committee last Saturday
urged such a pregram. It also
called for increased government
purchases of beef to support the
low-grade cattle market.
In a wire to the committee yes
terday, Benson said a choice cat
tle support program would pose
complex administrative
such as: price different'"!, com
pulsory grading, seasonal pricing
and market outlets
Benson said his depa-ment to
date has purchased the r -"valent
of half a million head of cattle— j
about 41,000 last week—and will
award contracts this week for an
additional 46,000 head.
